Top 10 essentials for your pool bash

Pool-party season is in full swing, and you might be looking for those products to help set your party apart from the rest. Here are out top products to help make your party the best on the block!

Intex Rainbow Ring Playcenter

If you're going to have parents with small children at the party, consider setting up a baby pool off to the side where the little ones can splash around without Mom and Dad having to carry them around the pool. The Intex Rainbow Ring Playcenter ($44.99) is made up of two pools -- one side has a shade and the other a small slide, allowing the smaller kids to wade on one side while the older kids can use the slide.

Dirt Devil Rampage Robotic Pool Cleaner

As you prepare for the party, the most important thing is, naturally, the pool -- and you'll want to make sure that it's in tip top condition before your guests start to arrive. Rather than trying to scrub the sides and fishing out the leaves and debris, the Dirt Devil Rampage Robotic Pool Cleaner ($1,000) will do all the hard work for you and have your pool gleaming within three hours. To help keep the pool clean during the party, put a small tub of water near the steps for people to clean off their feet before they get into the pool.

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

A fun project for your guests, kids and adults alike, is to set out different juices, fruits, and puddings to let them make their own popsicles. The Zoku Quick Pop Maker ($50) makes three unique pops in just seven minutes. Pre-freeze the base in the freezer and make up to nine pops, then pop it back in the freezer to re-chill.

Fiji Frozen Concoction Maker

What's better than sitting next to the pool with a slushy drink? Make this fantasy a reality for your guests and let the Fiji Frozen Concoction Maker ($349) do all the work. Simply pre-program the drink maker to whip up all your favorite frozen drinks (including smoothies and daiquiris), add the ingredients to the blending jar and ice to the hopper, press start and you'll have two-and-a-half pitchers ready in minutes.

Hamilton Beach 4-Quart Ice Cream Maker

Everyone loves the taste of homemade ice cream, so start with traditional flavors, then get suggestions from the crowd for a unique creation. The Hamilton Beach 4-Quart Ice Cream Maker ($48) will bring back that old-time flavor in less than an hour. Rated the best old-fashioned ice cream maker by ConsumerSearch.com, this gadget lets you sit back and relax while the electronic crank does all the work.
